Sooooooo,bought 2 Meanwell drivers for 2 different setups... Thought that it being a diy kit,all the stuff that i needed would be there,I would just have to put it together... What a fuckin newb I still am!!! SMFH!!! Now,the question is where can i get the correct power cords for them??? The wagos and the solid wire I can get easily... I dont know what i was thinking about... I am sofa king burnt!!!

Any electronic device you're able to part with can be used by cutting the cord off. just be sure it's 3 prong.

you dont really need that exact waterproof junction boxes but obv its smart to have something similar to secure your connections in a waterproof connector.

Obv wires can be twisted together and taped and will work but its not the safest practice

Don't install it like the one in the picture. The black sheathing that covers the individual insulated wires, should be inside the junction box. (That's what ATPWONZ calls them)
